soaring birds and glider pilots can remain aloft for hours without expending power. Discuss why this is so.
vekshin1

Answer:

Since their wings and body develop the drag. When there is warm air then they expand their wings. Since,soaring birds and glider pilots have no engine, they always maintain their high speed to lift their weight in air for hours without expending power by convection

what is the initial velocity of a go-kart traveling at a uniform acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2 for 5s as it slows down to a stop?​
timurjin [86]

The initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here, the uniform acceleration of go-kart is given as 0.5 m/s². Also the time required by it to stop is also given as 5 s. As acceleration is the measure of change in velocity per unit time.

In this case, the velocity should be changed from a value to zero to come to rest. So the initial velocity will be positive value and final velocity is zero.

As we know the values of acceleration, final velocity and time, the initial velocity can be easily determined as follows.

Acceleration = \frac{Final velocity -Initial velocity}{Time}

Since, final velocity is zero, acceleration is 0.5 m/s² and time is 5 s, then,

        -0.5=\frac{-\text {Initial velocity}}{5}

        Initial velocity = 0.5 × 5 = 2.5 m/s.

So the initial velocity of go-kart is 2.5 m/s.

A diver is swimming underneath an oil slick with a thickness of 200 nm and an index of refraction of 1.50. A white light shines
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

thickness of oil t = 200 nm

index of refraction μ = 1.5

For transmitted light :---

path difference = 2μ t

For constructive interference

path difference = n λ , λ is wavelength  of light

2μ t = n λ

λ = 2μ t /  n

For longest λ , n = 1

λ = 2μ t

= 2 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 600 nm

Wavelength in water

= 600 / refractive index of water

= 600 / 1.33

= 451.1 nm Ans

The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas _ are related. if one decreases, the other ___ ___ this relationship is known as
mihalych1998 [28]
1) Inversely
2) increases
3) Boyle's
4) mass
5) Kelvin
6) Charles's
7) Gay-Lussac's
8) directly
9) combined
10) the amount

<span>The pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas are inversely related. If one decreases, the other increases. This relationship is known as Boyle's law. The volume of a fixed mass of a gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature. This relationship is known as Charles's law. Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature if the volume remains constant. These three separate gas laws can be written as a single expression called the combined gas law. It can be used in situations in which only the amount of gas is constant. </span>
